How net savvy are our TV stars?


It is reported that India will have 100 million Internet users and 20 million broadband connections by 2008-2010. With the number of users growing and Internet penetration getting bigger and better how many of our small screen actors are actually users of the net? Do they have email ids, surf, use social networking sites, Google, blog?

Chhavi Mittal:
How many hours do you spend surfing?
I spend quite a lot of time surfing on the net. I can say I spend approximately 3 hours a day on net surfing. I love to Google information regarding various topics that I don't know much about.

How often do Google yourself?
I have done that just once or twice. I had to tell someone about the site that was carrying my picture so that the person could take it from there.

Are you on any social networking site?
Yes, I am on Facebook.




Indraneil Sengupta:
How many hours do you spend surfing?
I don't surf much may be just once in every three days.

How often do you Google yourself?
I don't do that much either. Every 15 days I Google my name and see if there is any new article on me. I like to keep abreast and keep a tab on every article written on me.

Are you on any social networking site?
I am registered on two sites but I am inactive on them. I just don't feel the need of networking with people.

Jasveer Kaur:
How many hours do you spend surfing?
I don't get much time to surf and check articles on websites.

Do you Google yourself?
I don't do that but my friends keep telling me about the articles that different sites carry on me.

Are you on any social networking site?
I am on Facebook but I hardly get time to peep in. I just joined as all my friends are on Facebook and I used to feel like the odd one out.




Benaf Dadachanji:
How many hours do you spend surfing?
I surf once in a while but whenever I do I sit for atleast three to four hours. I surf to collect information on various topics that I want to know. I love checking You Tube for some real funny video. I can sit for hours watching those videos.

Do you Google yourself?
Not at all as I am not self-obsessed.

Are you on any social networking site?
I am on Facebook. It's a way to be in touch with my friends who are studying abroad. Net is such a great way to be in touch with all your friends, it actually has shrunk the world.

Sara Khan:
How many hours do you spend surfing?
It depends on how much time I have on my hands. At times it happens just once a week when I sit for atleast two hours. I love to read comments and compliments that I get from my viewers.

Do you Google yourself?
I love to read about me and Ali. I love to log onto Tellychakkar.

Are you on any social networking site?
I am on Orkut as it's a nice way to be in touch with your fans and it helps you polish your talent as one keeps receiving comments on your acting.

Yuvraj Malhotra:
How many hours do you spend surfing?
I don't get time to surf regularly. I surf twice a week. I love to read about movies as movies and me are made for each other.

Do you Google yourself?
Oh! Yes I do read about myself. It is fun as you remain updated about the news that's doing the rounds.

Are you on any social networking site?
No, I am not as I know I can't devote time so why keep people waiting endlessly?



Anita Hassanandani:
It would be pointless to even ask me as I hardly surf on the net. It happens once in every three months and I don't even check my account on Facebook.

Aroona-Shoma's catfight

Aroona Iraani
All kinds of drama and tiffs happen on reality shows.

The latest one is a fight between yesteryear Bollywood actresses Aroona Iraani and Shoma Anand during the shooting of Saas Vs Bahu on SaharaOne. And this one did get nasty!

Shoma is a contestant, while Aroona is a judge on the show. The incident took place when they were shooting for an episode which is yet to be relayed.

Aroona gave her favourite actress Barkha Bisht high points for her performance and said of these points, one was for her figure. This comment irked the saases on the show, but they preferred to keep quiet. However, when Shoma Anand was later asked about this, she lashed out on stage. She said it was unfair to give a young actress marks on the basis of her figure in a dance show. She said that her group of women, who represented the saases, were older and it's only natural that they don't have hot bodies and can't wear all kinds of clothes. At this point, Aroona shot back saying this argument didn't hold because she, too, was in the older age group, but has taken care to maintain herself. Things would have got further messy here but Shoma hit out saying "she (Aroona) could do that because she hadn't delivered a baby". The argument stopped at this point.

No marks for guessing that this fight between the yesteryear Bollywood glam girls will be shown on TV because reality showmakers crave for masala. Look around and you'll find walkouts and quarrels happening on all reality shows, many of which have been accused of being staged. Now, the question here is whether this one between Aroona and Shoma was also scripted or genuinely did the two ladies get into a tiff. Nevermind, the show goes on!

Aruna Irani accuses Jasvir Kaur of faking pain

by Vidhya Krishnan

Sep 15, 2008, Bangalore

It seems all is not well on the sets of 'Saas vs Bahu'. Trouble began when participant Jasvir Kaur stopped her performance midway citing pain in her knees. She requested for another chance and got one. Much to the chagrin of the judges, she stopped her second performance midway as well. This prompted judge Aruna Irani to say that she was faking her pain and was doing 'natak'.

We contacted Jasvir to get her version of the story and here is what she said, "I have been suffering with this knee problem for sometime. When I started dancing, it worsened and I had to stop. I asked for another chance and the judges did give me one. The second time, I performed with all my will without showing any signs of pain. But towards the end of my performance, my legs started shivering and I gave up."

About Aruna Irani's allegations, she says, "I was misconstrued as playing a natak just because I did not show out my pain. I don't want to magnify this; I respect the view point of the judges and have no cribs absolutely. People know me well and I don't need to prove myself. I won the dance reality show Ek Se Badhar Ek which is enough of proof that I have it in me to win a dance competition."

That was Jasvir's version. We wonder what Aruna Irani has to say to this

Saas v/s Bahu faces the fury of the flames

by Meenakshi Shankar

Sep 15, 2008, Mumbai

Shocking, but the very expensive sets of Swastik Pictures's reality showcase Saas v/s Bahu faced the fury not from its participants, but a freak fire caused by a technical snag.

Vikas Seth, Managing Partner, Swastik Pictures did admit that it was a technical snag that caused a freak fire. "Everything was going on schedule. We were shooting for the episode and things were on track. But suddenly, we got a whiff of smoke and when we looked up, we were shocked."

A shocked, but now composed Vikas added, "Never in our wildest dreams did we anticipate a fire on the sets. We are very careful and full kudos to my team members who acted with a presence of mind. They broke into groups and started working on safety measures."

Most production houses have stringent safety measures. There is a lot of money involved in erecting expensive sets and the loss we faced today is close to 12 lakhs. It would take us at least three days to get our show back on track. We cannot afford to waste any time. We are a daily show, with an hour's slot. That really makes it difficult for us to take a back seat and iron out details.

I know, it sounds lame to say it was a technical snag, but now, I know it just takes a spark to bring in a catastrophe. And truly, if the fire had spread, it would spell mayhem on the sets of saas v/s bahu.

And Vikas gives full credit to his fantastic team!Unlike other production houses who would pass the buck, the elated producer says, "It is because of my team that my sets are such a safe place."

Can't help falling...

Contestant Priya Arya fell on the sets of SaharaOne's Saas Vs Bahu not once but four times in a single day! "I had a bad fall in the bathroom. Then I fell while getting out of the vanity van. Later I slipped while getting on the stage for my performance. The final one was when I fell while performing!"

Shall we dance?

Dancing in Saas Vs Bahu is a completely new avenue for Chhavi Mittal! "I have never tried dancing, so I thought it would be a good opportunity to explore that aspect," says Chhavi. Dancing doesn't come easily to her! "I have to put in extra efforts to remember the steps and there is stage fear too."
